  • Perfect Overview

    I have loved Points Talk for multiple years now. I love this FREE content that is an incredible overview of points with pertinent information that is up to date and relevant for listeners at all stages in points travel. I love hearing their personalities shine through the show and the “you do you” attitude. If you’re looking to get “in the weeds” deeper content, they have so many other options including their awesome courses and premium podcast!
